Praying leaves

DreamOn
DreamOnstarted grow question 4 years ago
The leaves are stretching up (praying leaves as I understand). It's just 1 day after topping and I would expect some stress, is this a good or bad sign? I fear I might have topped them a bit too early.

Hey! Praying leaves is a good thing, unless they start to take taco form then thats bad because its suffering heat/light stress In your case, its good.. if she we're suffering stress from being topped she would look droopy and falling over with no energy.. She's rigid, praying leaves and ready to keep growing. With such little new growth maybe next time to be sure leave a couple extra fan leaves until you see she's recovering fine. I normally top between the third and fifth node, on the current grow I topped after those and I won't be doing that again.. for me it's best early. easier to control the growth. These ladies got way out of hand, only 3 have a good structure for my taste. Nice job, keep it up. Good luck and happy growing!

Praying leaves are a good thing if you see them on a green, fast-growing plant. It's common for indoor growers to “ride the line” and give plants as much light as possible without triggering light stress which can also cause praying leaves. Hopefully, I answered your question and remember Happy Growing and Free your mind one puff at a time.

is that the 2nd or 3rd node? a bit early, but if it doesn't go into shock all is well. I think nit works a bit better if the axillary buds have started to grow out a bit, but that could just as easily be wrong too. think 'they' say 6-7 nodes before you top. google will have this sort of useful reference information.
